SEOUL, HIGHWAY
MERCREDI 07:45
Three weeks later had passed. Everything returned back to normal. People are slowly accepting the truth and moving on as days passedㅡfacing the morning with a smile on their face.
Fall is visible in every corner of Seoul. The leaves changing colour from a vibrant green to a rich palette of red, orange and yellow typically marks the onset of autumn. Autumn in Seoul offers cool and crisp weather, breathtaking foliage and stunning views of the enchanting fall colours.
Today is Maxence anniversary. Mina was driving to school with Chaeyoung. They have to leave early to avoid the commotion.
Chaeyoung was looking at the outside scenery: the beautiful colours of the leaves outside the window. "Autumn is here." She uttered. "The leaves are so pretty."
Mina smiled. "Wanna smell the morning of Autumn?" She opened the roof of the car.
The street is not yet busy. The morning is very calm and relaxing.
Awing over the scenery, Chaeyoung raised her hand on the air and feel the Autumn breeze. She closed her eyes and breathe the cold air. "This is amazing."
"Right?" Mina could not erase the smile on her lips seeing the younger this happy.
Chaeyoung opened her eyes and looked at Mina. They shared the sweetest smile as their eyes meet.
"I will close the roof now, I don't want you to catch a cold."

Mina and Chaeyoung holding hands freely as they head towards the dining hall to meet the team and have breakfast together. Chaeyoung could not stop smiling over Mina's shirt. It was the shirt she bought with Jeongyeon.
"My team will make fun of me. How did I end up wearing a strawberry shirt?"
"But it is cute! You looked good in pink. Don't change, okay? You will not play today anyway."
For a fair play, the strongest members of the Volleyball club will not participate in the match held under the anniversary. Only the trainees will participate since there are not good enough players in other departments.
Mina sighed drastically. "Baby, we have to change this afternoon. I don't wanna smell funny after hiding from the knights of the marriage booth. I'm pretty sure there will be a hundred lists of girls wanted to marry me today."
"Ah, yeah, right." Chaeyoung chuckled a little bit nervously. "I completely forgot about the booth."
Mina halted and hover on the front. "Do you want me to be married to someone else?" She raised an eyebrow. "Aren't you going to get jealous?"
"H-Huh? It's just part of the celebration. Why would I get jealous?"
"Oh," Mina leaned her face closer. "Will you not?"
Chaeyoung did not turn away. "I-I will not. By the way, our family will be here right?" She was fast to change the subject.
"You're changing the subject again. Yes, they will be here. It will be your first time to meet your grandmother right?"
"Yes. I'm actually nervous about the family dinner tonight."
"You have me on your side holding your hand so don't be anxious."
Chaeyoung is happy to have Mina to lean on. They proceed to the hall and meet the team.
MAXENCE DINING HALL
MERCREDI 08:32
"When are you two going to be official? Just date already!" Roa has the best morning greeting ever.
"Date! Date! Date! Date!" Doyeon, Sowon, and Chungha drummed the table.
Jeongyeon and Tzuyu could only shake their heads towards the Kim cousins and sip tea casually.
Chaeyoung has the craziest supporting knights ever. Yes, the team knew Chaeyoung has feelings for Mina. She is just too honest and Roa is such an agent.
"These rascals never know how to shut up," Mina said. "You guys ate already? Where's our breakfast?"
"I'll get it, Your Highness." Roa stood and salute. "Tzuyu, help me." She dragged the poor Taiwanese towards the counter and get a tray of breakfast for two.
Afterwards, Mina and Chaeyoung enjoy their breakfast.
Mina to Tzuyu: "Have you made up your mind?"
"Yes. I will join the match today."
"Are you sure? How about your condition?"
Tzuyu is happy Mina showed concern. "I will be fine. I have to win our department, at least."
"Okay. Be careful and don't do any reckless jumps. Nayeon will kill me if you get hurt."
Tzuyu smiled politely. "No worries, I will assure our safety."
Mina nodded. "Good, I'm counting on youㅡ" She got distracted by the sight of Jeongyeon and Chaeyoung exchanging whispers. She sharpened her gaze to the Captain. "That's rude of you two talking secretly in front of us."
Jeongyeon explained but it is not their real topic. "As the program start, students will be looking for you. Chaeyoung can't stay beside you, she is not an athlete who can run as fast as you."
Mina raised an eyebrow and put down the spoon. "So what are you trying to say?"
"It's best if Chaeyoung will stay with me. I can assure her safety."
"Are you trying to imply that I can't protect her?"
"I'm trying to say, she will be safer away from your fangirls."
Mina looked at Chaeyoung and think about the possible situation. She sighed. "Fine. But how are you gonna protect her? Her fans are growing. I'm pretty sure some students are dying to marry her too."
"That's not a problem. Once she gets married, she is not available anymore so no knights will chase after her."
"Wait a secㅡWhat?!" Mina frowned. There are countless words about to erupt like a volcano. "To whom will she marry?"
Jeongyeon looked at Chaeyoung and they shared smiles. "Me."
